十年前的今天，即2004年，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的“勇气号”火星车成功着陆在火星南半球的古谢夫陨石坑，开启了其长达十年的火星探索之旅。勇气号是美国火星探测漫游者计划的首个火星漫游车，它的成功着陆标志着人类对火星的探索迈入新阶段。
勇气号火星车长1.6米、宽2.3米、高1.5米，重174千克。搭载了先进的科学仪器，如火星雷达成像仪、岩石化学分析仪等，用于研究火星表面的地质、气候和潜在生命存在。在接下来的十年里，勇气号不断向地球传回珍贵的科学数据，为人类了解火星提供了宝贵的信息。
勇气号的火星之旅并非一帆风顺。在登陆火星后不久，其一个车轮陷入软土，导致行动受限。然而，科学家们并未放弃，通过精心设计方案，成功帮助勇气号摆脱困境。此后的日子里，勇气号不断拓展探索范围，发现了火星表面的水冰、矿物质等迹象，为证明火星曾经存在适宜生命环境提供了重要证据。
十年间，勇气号在火星上共行驶了超过10公里，完成了预定任务。其探测成果极大地丰富了人类对火星的认识，为后续火星探测任务奠定了基础。勇气号的的成功，也让人们对火星的生命奥秘充满了期待。
Title: The Ten-Year Journey of the Spirit Mars Rover

Ten years ago today, on January 4, 2004, the Spirit Mars Rover successfully landed in the Gusev Crater on Mars, marking the beginning of its ten-year exploration journey. As the first Mars rover of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission, Spirit’s successful landing ushered in a new era of human Mars exploration.
The Spirit Mars Rover, measuring 1.6 meters in length, 2.3 meters in width, and 1.5 meters in height, weighing 174 kilograms. It was equipped with advanced scientific instruments such as the Mars Radar Imager, Rock Chemistry Analyzer, etc., used to study the geology, climate, and potential for life on Mars. Over the next ten years, Spirit continuously sent back valuable scientific data to Earth, providing precious information for human understanding of Mars.
The journey of Spirit was not smooth. Shortly after landing on Mars, one of its wheels became stuck in soft soil, limiting its mobility. However, scientists did not give up and successfully helped Spirit overcome the dilemma through careful planning. In the following days, Spirit continued to expand its exploration area, discovering signs of water ice, minerals, and more, providing important evidence for the existence of an environment suitable for life on Mars.
During its ten-year mission, Spirit traveled over 10 kilometers on Mars and completed its assigned tasks. Its exploration achievements greatly enriched human understanding of Mars and laid the foundation for subsequent Mars exploration missions. The success of Spirit also fuels expectations of finding life on Mars.
